Global fashion brand Cider opens first permanent store in Los Angeles
The store translates Cider’s digital identity into an exciting retail experience through its signature “Pick a Mood” concept. The space is organized across multiple distinct moods: Cute, Elegant and Free, alongside dedicated occasion-based categories including Vacation, Workwear, Essentials, Special Occasion, and Lingerie & Intimates.
Cider’s first permanent LA store marks its transition from a digital-first model to an omnichannel strategy, bringing its ‘Pick a Mood’ concept into a physical, immersive retail space.
The move strengthens community engagement through curated in-store experiences, local collaborations and events, while signalling broader expansion plans and deeper brand visibility.
Paying homage to its new home at The Original Farmers Market, the brand will debut a Farmers Market–inspired collection, available in-store and globally online on April 17. The Original Farmers Market Collection will feature a playful assortment of food-inspired graphics, checkered prints, and handcrafted details such as crochet, embroidery, and linen textures across apparel, swim, and accessories.
“We chose The Original Farmers Market because it’s one of the most vibrant and influential retail destinations in LA and even California,” said Fenco Lin, Co-Founder of Cider. “It brings together culture, energy, and everyday life in a way that truly reflects how our Cider community shops and lives. For our first store, we’re excited to create a space where people can not only discover Cider in person, but also feel inspired, relaxed, and connected to the brand.”
From April 17 to 19, 2026, Cider celebrated its grand opening with a curated lineup of in-store moments designed for discovery and connection, from shareable photo experiences to exclusive gifts with purchase and limited Los Angeles–inspired giveaways.
Extending beyond opening weekend, the brand will host “Cider Sundays,” a weekly series of community-led gatherings featuring collaborations with Los Angeles–based creators, neighborhood cafés and local businesses, alongside stylist-led Cider Club experiences that bring the #cidergang together IRL.
The 7,800-square-foot retail space marks Cider’s first permanent store, opening at Los Angeles’ Original Farmers Market. As a key market and home base for the brand, Los Angeles provides a natural setting for this milestone, while the Farmers Market’s longstanding reputation as a hub of culture and community makes it an ideal destination to bring the Cider audience together in person.
Following the brand’s Los Angeles debut, Cider plans to expand with a second retail location at Westfield Valley Fair in San Jose later this summer.
The store officially opened April 17, 2026, and is located at 6333 W 3rd St, Ste P-20. The store will be open Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. PST. The Original Farmers Market collection will be available online April 2nd, 2026.
